I’m currently in my junior year of high school and I will be receiving my first B in APES. I’m pretty sad about this and I know no matter what I do, I will not be able to bump it to an A. I have been a 4.0 student and this came harsh to me. How do you guys cope with situations like this? I know this may sound kind of dumb and you may have heard this I don’t know how many times but it’s just so depressing for me.
I’ve came to the realization of how I spent my time this past semester to waste. I just regret so much that I haven’t tried just a tiny bit harder. I look over my grade and tests I’ve taken and it just leaves me dumbfounded.
Sorry for the rant guys >.<
People are going to criticize you for complaining about a B, but it doesn’t sound like you’re upset about the grade so much as you’re upset about not living up to your potential. I procrastinate all the time and I’ve sometimes felt this way even after getting As. All you can do is work harder in the future.
You use it as fuel and motivation to do better in the future. Don’t let yourself forget about it, especially during in the middle of the semester when you are most likely to slack off. Then again, know that time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted (john lennon) but that you realized you could be doing things more beneficial to you in the long run
